UPDATE Well, my computer store gave me a quote then promptly closed down to do internet sales only...Hmmm. However, my mouse was jumping all over the screen, so I bought a graphics card with 2Gig memory, only AU $55, just to see what would happen. The answer: Brilliant. I'm very happy. No more glit...

The EU Government I'm sure will hit them with a huge fine penalty since the EU Government is always looking for a excuse to squeeze Google and other Big Tech companies for money. Crap,- they are unrivaled global players and make BIG money in europe while paying almost no taxes here. Not only Google...

Google is now ending Google-Plus because of a bug it has that may have revealed hundreds of thousands of users personal data. This was known by Google many months ago but they said nothing about it cause they feared Government scrutiny and consequences, assuming they might come from it. The EU Gover...

IMHO, Izotope makes the best Native plugins. I love ChannelStrips and Izotope are the very best at Channelstrips with their gui layout, workflow, and flexibility/many control parameters. You might can find some other Native plugins that are sold individually and not in channelstrips wich sound a bit...

Well the sounds are sure nice! Just like the old one. And having great internal sounds is certainly a plus. Priced a little too steep imho. I agree the price is a bit high. I think that is cause it has a versatile synth engine, and a lot more keys than usual, and seems to be a rare and niche produc...

Looks like another 6-Core by intel has just been released. Intel seems to have a goal of dramatic speed increase for their 6-Cores. The new i7 8086K 6-Core is running at 4 GHz. That's almost as fast as the current quads wich are 4.2 GHZ and a pretty big increase over 6-cores from a couple years ago ...

The new Roland Keytar looks amazing and sounds really nice. For those that don't know a Keytar is a cross between a Keyboard and a Guitar, it is the child of both of them. Roland are the best at Keytars with regards to looks, more keys (49 keys(, Sound (Roland usually has a built in synth engine as ...

Congrats on the new beast! When you do migrate your audio work to it definitely let us know how it all goes. Those recent generations 6-Cores are very impressive and well priced for the Audio-World. Real powerhouses for sure!

Well, I’ve decided to for N i7 8700, the gigabyte board as above and16Gb RAM with the option to add more. I’ll replace the graphics card as well because I think the old one has seen better days All up around AU $1100, that’s about US $800 Thanks all. I’ll report back later on progress All the best ...

You might want to check your Keyfile and see if Solaris key is under a different name. When I upgraded from pci cards to XITE-1 I got new keyfiles for my XITE-1 and when I looked at my John Bowen synths the Solaris was missing BUT there was a new key for Orion Custom Ex wich worked fine for activati...

Will probably splurge a little and add 64Gb RAM for plenty of elbow room and future proofing. Even Scope 7 has 16Gb RAM recommended.The graphics card will probably behave in a better system. While it is good to have more than enough RAM in your system I don't think it's good to have waaaay more tha...

As for politics, well isn't this one of the two topics that tends to cause polarizing when brought up in conversation? And for good reason I would say, it's very convenient to keep laborers and middle management spun up over what nation threatens us, which political team^B^B^B^Bparty is winning at ...

Yeah, but these are good Liberals, human rights, free speech, etc. At the end of the day it’s always about the money, even when they say it isn’t. Fake outrage over @ Google for working with China to abuse their citizens. They protest for a few minutes, then go back to writing code. Shareholders ge...

Google tracks your movements, like it or not: https://www.apnews.com/828aefab64d4411bac257a07c1af0ecb How to find and delete where Google knows you’ve been https://www.apnews.com/b031ee35d4534f548e43b7575f4ab494 Man this spying stuff just keeps getting worse and worse. I have a feeling it's still f...

Looks like a good modular and sounds ok. I'll be keeping a eye on it for sure. None of the Native modulars sound as good as SCOPE's Modular and usually don't have the flexibility or extensiveness of SCOPE's Modular and often have serious limitations. I thought Softune's modular was too expensive wit...

Regarding Celmo's broken Purchase-Links; the problem doesn't seem to be with Celmo but with the company he uses for payment processing. After doing a little research I discovered the company Celmo used for payment processing Kagi has gone out of business after falling prey to fraud. Celmo was using ...

Been playing with the Celmo Spring Reverberator very nice ...but the demo version has that beep of course . Is it possible to buy the full version anywhere ? his website looks around 2007 era and no purchase links work . Cheers , Michael Celmo's plugins should still be for sale. I've bought many of...
